I look forward to a robust corporate structure and the creation of new products and businesses. I encourage the Company to promote sustainability to help realize a sustainable society.Audit & Supervisory CommitteeSustainability CommitteeNomination and Compensation Committee3 (2)15 (4)7 (4)I have focused on improving the transparency and effectiveness of various meetings while keeping in mind the “outside eye,” drawing on my knowledge of policy finance, education, and research, as well as my experience as an outside director of other companies. I have received many opportunities to participate in management. For instance, in addition to Board of Directors’ and Audit & Supervisory Committee meetings, I attend many others, such as those of the Sustainability Committee, as well as the Nomination and Compensation Committee, which I chair. In recent years, the Company has been working to strengthen our governance system by reducing the number of directors and increasing the number of outside directors, allowing it to separate decision-making from business execution. I believe these are good examples of how the Company is responding to society’s demands. I look forward to the Company’s con-tinued proactive efforts to achieve a robust corporate structure through innovation and to the creation of new products and businesses in line with the basic policy of LSV 2030.The Company’s Board of Directors consists of independent outside directors with diverse experience who express opinions based on their own perspectives, and management listens sincerely. In addition, we can obtain background information of the reports and resolutions at Board of Directors’ meetings in advance, from distributed materials and by attending man-agement meetings. We can apply this information to ask questions and offer opinions from a variety of perspectives at Board of Directors’ and committee meetings. The world is currently undergoing a turbulent period, due to the situation in the Ukraine, among other factors. In this context, it is essential for us to contribute toward the realization of a sustainable society as well as to achieve our business goals. I think the Company is sending a strong and clear message about the promotion of sustainability management. I also hope to contribute to sustainable growth by providing advice and recommendations based on my expertise in legal affairs.Satoshi OhokaIn 1975, joined the former Japan Development Bank.
